according to Alton, putting oil in the pasta water does nothing for the pasta. If I remember correctly - it does keep the water from boiling over - but useing a bigger pot solves that problem.
I just took a brief nap
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I think you need to nap on your current bed in order to determine its napability. If it passes, you don't need a new bed. Of course, this experiment will need several nap sessions in order for the results to be valid.

Feh. Am in dinner limbo because of a maybe-date that hasn't called me back. I don't want to run eat out early in case he calls (I'm sure it would happen the moment I took the first bite of food), but broiling the roast I bought today is a 2-hour commitment that I won't be able to leave once it's started...

Not very exciting, but I have new hair:

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Cute hair!! And, really seriously cute picture!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Super cute, Megan! And, Lord, but you have beautiful eyes. The new hair frames them gorgeously.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
What a gorgeous cut! You look lovely in that photo.
I am making tempura.
That is to say, I am sitting over here listening to the oil get hot, because I'm afraid to start the next bit which involves spattering and possibly cursing. Everything else is ready.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I like the hair, megan!
I use the oil to keep the water from boiling over and it keep the pasta from sticking to the too-hot pot sides and burning. Could be solved by buying a more expensive pan, but no.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Lovely hair, megan! You do have beautiful eyes.
Matt, just have a sandwich. If he's gonna call, he'll call halfway through it. You know how the magic works!
I took a freakin' two-hour nap this afternoon. I may be more stressed than I realize.

I ate a chicken foot. And a lot of other stuff.
Then went to Mom's. Nephew was tired and cranky and shouty. SIL would not stop interrupting me. Repeated uses of "Hm, what I was saying..." had no effect. Soon I was tired and cranky as well, so I left before I got shouty.
Also, I have resolved to start being rude when people tell their children to give me a hug. It pissed me off when I was the child being told to hug random adults, and it pisses me off even more now. And if I explicitly told you that I find it creepy, why would you keep doing it?
I wanna go live in a deep dark cave.
